Now that you have a clear idea of what you want to do with you time. Visit a school counselor to evaluate what you are required to do before graduation. Between you and your counselor you can tentatively plan a schedule that will balance your needs and wants.

Many school counselors are available a week before school starts. If you want to get a jump on your scheduling and need advice on which classes to take, make an appointment to chat with him or her before school starts, or within the first week. The earlier you nail down which classes you are going to take the less chance you'll have of missing something important or getting a good seat in class near your bestie.
